HOLLY STOPPIT ARTISTIC PRODUCER/PERFORMER
						Holly spent her formative years devising cunning plans to run away from the circus. She got as far as Australia, believing wholeheartedly that she'd shaken the sawdust out of her shoes, but there will always be those lingering splinters! Holly has performed, directed, stage managed, taught and played music for circus-theatre all over the world. She has trained in clowning, fooling, physical theatre, mime, acrobatics and eccentric dance. As well as circus related shenanigans, Holly has told many a tall tale in the guise of Elastic Concoctions, the storytelling company she shares with her sister Jesse. They also have a double act, the ukulele plucking, yodelling Texas Pan-Handle Sisters. Holly comperes for cabaret, using character comedy and interacting with various house bands (credits include re:Creation for the Bristol Old Vic, The Spiegel Tent at Bath Fringe, Bestival on the Isle of Wight). She has performed street theatre for dotComedy, Pickled Image, Nofit State Circus and has busked around Europe as the incredible singing fish. Sometimes, when nobody's looking, Holly creeps into real theatres and does secret shows.
